Character · Book 6, The Eye of the Bedlam Bride
Vrah
A mantis hunter of the Dark Hive, level 74, who has killed crawlers by the thousand over many seasons and wears the heads of the dead on her back — Langley's and Bogdon Ro's among them this floor. Warned of on the first day by a janitor whose brother she killed at a food stand; the killer, a few seasons back, of a fellow hunter in a fight ruled legal because it was in the Hunting Grounds; infected by an Arrow of Enthusiastic Double Gonorrhea and set on fire; cured by a god her mother bought. She dies at the Butcher's Masquerade under Mongo and Kiwi, gurgling 'How.'

The last show made Vrah's mother really mad at Carl (ch. 11); Huanxin Jinx is a plotter like Circe and Vrah, on a different scale (ch. 19); the Nebulars, fought on the last floor at the same time as her crew, are still sore at Carl (ch. 60).
